How Afrobeats superstar Davido raised over $400K in a day after jokingly asking fans to send him money

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido  will definitely be laughing all the way to the bank as his fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry continue to shower him with love after he jokingly asked them to send him money to clear his Rolls Royce from the port.

The 1 Milli singer, who’ll be celebrating his 29th birthday on November 21, took to Twitter-on Wednesday to ask people he has given hit songs to send him money – albeit on a lighter note. The singer then went ahead to share his bank account details. And in the space of just 7 minutes, he had received around $17,000 in donations. The Fallcrooner then went ahead to throw a challenge, saying he wanted as much as ₦100,000,000 (around $240,000) so he could clear his luxury  vehicle from the port. As the donations kept coming in, the singer kept updating his followers on how much he had received. In a follow-up tweet, Davido  said his initial post asking for donations was just a joke.  He, however, admitted he was overwhelmed by the love that was being shown to him. “I’m speechless,” he shared with crying and laughing emojis alongside a screenshot of his account balance. He had received around $100,000 at the time.
